MODERN AMAZONS
Modern Amazons is a series of three features on indigenous women who, in order to confront the social and environmental crisis affecting their territories and cultures, are promoting traditional knowledge as an economic alternative to extractivism. This project received a grant from the Pulitzer Center through the Rainforest Journalism Fund. The stories were published in El País, El Espectador and eldiario.es.
